Abstract
Free dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) is liberated when human plasma is incubated with either acid or alkaline phosphatase under suitable conditions. Sodium fluoride and p-nitrophenylphosphate added to human plasma decrease the ability of either phosphatase to liberate plasma DHEA. The data indicate that DHEA may circulate in human blood as a phosphoric acid conjugate.
